A finite element model of the average female crash test dummy SET 50F v0.2 for low severity rear impact safety was developed through further tuning and evaluation of the FE SET 1.0.0 model to the FE SET 50F 2.0.0 model. Development included re-meshing of foam, fine tuning weights of body parts, drop tests on abdomen and torso foam, and static spine bending tests of thoracic-lumbar and cervical regions. The FE SET 50F 2.0.0 open-source model is available on the OpenVT platform.

Presentation on the Nord2000 noise model used in Sweden for road traffic noise mapping. Nord2000 uses five vehicle categories described by weight and number of axles, with 1/3 octave band frequency resolution from 25 to 10000 Hz. Two sources per vehicle category represent rolling and propulsion mechanisms. The model includes surface corrections based on Swedish CPX measurements, horizontal and vertical directivity patterns, and methods for deriving source sound power levels from field measurements using the propagation model with assumed omnidirectional sources.
